GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2
USA005-1
(For All TOOIS)
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the
owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from tool before turning it on.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered
areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted. Don’t use
tool in presence of flammable liquids or
gases.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors
should be kept safe distance from work
area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing
starter keys.
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or
attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands
to operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT BATTERY FROM TOOL
before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and
the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL
STARTING. Make sure switch is in off
position before inserting battery.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury
could occur if the tool is tipped or if the
cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further
use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function - check
for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a
blade or cutter against the direction of
rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave
tool until it comes to a complete stop.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES USB033-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw
safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It
can still cause severe injury.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in
place. Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guard does not move freely and
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
blade guard into the open position.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand.
The workpiece must be secured firmly
against the turn base and guide fence with
a vise during all operations. Never use
your hand to secure the workpiece.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to
stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Remove battery from tool before changing
blade or servicing.
8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each
crosscut operation.
9. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
10. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head
down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
11. Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, because it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
12. Do not use the tool in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
13. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged blade immediately.
Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades
slows saw and increases potential for
kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
14. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting
operation and the saw blade is driven
back rapidly towards the operator. Loss of
control and serious personal injury can
result. If blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and
release switch immediately.
15. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
16. Be careful not to damage the arbor,
flanges (especially the installing surface)
or bolt. Damage to these parts could
result in blade breakage.
17. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation. Use the holes in the base to fasten
the saw to a stable work platform or
bench. NEVER use tool where operator
positioning would be awkward.
18. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before operation.
4
19. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece
before operation.
20. Make sure the shaft lock is released
before the switch is turned on.
21. Be sure that the blade does not contact
the turn base in the lowest position.
22. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the
saw moves up or down slightly during
start-up and stopping.
23. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
24. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate
poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
25. Wait until the blade attains full speed
before cutting.
26. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
27. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on
position.
28. Be alert at all times, especially during
repetitive, monotonous operations. Do
not be lulled into a false sense of security.
Blades are extremely unforgiving.
29. Always use accessories recommended in
this manual. Use of improper accessories
such as abrasive wheels may cause an
injury.
30. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of
blade with left hand or vice versa. This is
called cross-armed cutting and exposes
user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS
use vise to secure workpiece.
31. NEVER stack workpieces on the table top
to speed cutting operations. Cut only one
piece at a time.
32. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
